F
The way you kissed me this morning 
                                  Bb 
It told me that you soon would be going
   Gm                      C                  F 
You didn't even look in my eyes when you said goodbye.

    F
And last night in your sleep you broke all the promises 
       Bb
That I knew you would never keep.
        C                            Am       
Now I'm reading the letter which you placed on the dresser
           Bb           C              F   
And you're five hundred miles down the road.

[Chorus]
 Bb                                                 F 
Escape is so simple in a world where sunsets can be raced.
      C                      Bb                       Dm
But distance only looses the knife the pattern of its scar
  Am      C   F          
Can always be traced.

F                 
Ya I remember when we said forever was the craziest word 
        Bb
That we knew,
      Gm                         C                F
But I think that I liked it much better than I do goodbye

      F                                                     
And I could sit here all evening and think of the reasons why 
Bb 
You are not by my side
             C                        Am
Instead I'll go to the kitchen find a strong chair to sit in
    Bb           C       F     
And drink myself far far away.

[Chorus]
 Bb                                                 F 
Escape is so simple in a world where sunsets can be raced.
      C                      Bb                       Dm
But distance only looses the knife the pattern of its scar
  Am      C   F          
Can always be traced

[Chorus]
 Bb                                                 F 
Escape is so simple in a world where sunsets can be raced.
      C                      Bb                       Dm
But distance only looses the knife the pattern of its scar
  Am      C   F          
Can always be traced
